About Selecting MCAD Data in the Graphics Area
|
You can select one or more parts or markups in the graphics area for the loaded assembly. By default, selected parts are highlighted and surrounded by a bounding box. With the smart selection method, you can refine the selection of a part to a surface or edge on that part. You can then refine the selection further, to entities such as:
• Center Points
• Endpoints
• Midpoints
• Axes

Set options to enable or disable preselection, and secondary selection highlighting for 3D parts. For other geometry, it is enabled by default. You can set a smart selection filter to select that type of item. You can view a list of the items that are selected, and you can see a summary of the number of selected items in the status bar. You can also select or deselect all parts simultaneously, or, invert the part selection.
